Significant enough vitamin C deficiency can lead to a condition called scurvy.

Here are warning signs that you're not getting enough vitamin C, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:

  • Excessively dry hair with ends that split easily.
  • Scaly, rough, dry skin.
  • Bleeding or inflamed gums.

  • Frequent nosebleeds.
  • Pain and swelling in the joints.
